Pêche au carrelet sur les rives du Mékong

            Vientiane (Laos) - En 1991, j’avais apprécié photographier les pêcheurs sur les rives du Mékong à Vientiane. En 2015, le plaisir était intact. 
L’urbanisation galopante de Vientiane avait cependant repoussé la plupart des pêcheurs à pied, plus à l’ouest. Au bout de 5 ou 6 kilomètres, j'ai retrouvé mes pêcheurs. Essentiellement des femmes, malgré la force physique nécessaire pour remonter les filets.
Si les tenues vestimentaires sont désormais occidentalisées, la technique de pêche reste la même. 
J'ai passé une bonne heure avec ces femmes en fin de journée et pendant ce laps de temps, elles n'ont capturé que de microscopiques poissons.

Fishing nets on the banks of the Mekong

Vientiane (Laos) - In 1991, I enjoyed photographing fishermen on the banks of the Mekong in Vientiane. In 2015, the fun was intact.
The galloping urbanization of Vientiane had, however, pushed back most of the fishermen on foot further west. After 5 or 6 kilometers, I found my fishermen. Mostly women, despite the physical strength required to haul the nets.
If the clothing is now westernized, the fishing technique remains the same.
I spent a good hour with these women at the end of the day and during that time, they only caught microscopic fish.
